Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup lactose-free cheese
- 1/2 cup low FODMAP pizza sauce
- Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually add water and olive oil, stirring with a fork or wooden spoon until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
- Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of gluten-free flour.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to hydrate and become more pliable.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare a pizza stone.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin, round shape approximately 12 inches in diameter. Use gentle, even pressure to create an even thickness.
- Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread low FODMAP pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle lactose-free cheese over the sauce. Add chopped bell peppers and spinach as toppings, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes. This helps the cheese set and makes slicing easier.
- Slice into 6-8 pieces and serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or oregano if desired.
Tips
- Flour Selection: Choose a high-quality gluten-free flour blend for the best texture. Some blends work better than others, so feel free to experiment to find your favorite!
- Kneading: Don’t over-knead the dough; just a few minutes will do. This keeps the crust light and airy.
- Resting Time: Allowing the dough to rest is crucial. It helps the flour hydrate and makes the dough easier to roll out.
- Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! While bell peppers and spinach are great, feel free to add other low FODMAP vegetables like zucchini or carrots.
- Baking Stone: If you have a pizza stone, use it! Preheat it in the oven for an even crispier crust.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your pizza while it bakes. Ovens can vary, so check for a golden brown crust and bubbly cheese to ensure it’s perfectly cooked.
- Cooling Time: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and makes for cleaner cuts.Enjoy your homemade Low FODMAP Pizza and savor every bite without any worries!
